As a pole i may only suggest that it's not only about influence of american (pop)culture and english language, it's also a finger pointed at deterioration (real or imagined) of youngster's behaviur, and defensive attitude of teachers. as always it's both funny yet very grim.
This cartoon is actually refering to the story that happened few years ago when teacher was bullied by his pupils, all the story was captured on camera and put into the internet - teacher had a litter bin put on his head. That caused a big discussion of if the teacher in high school should stand up for bullies, some say that he just should allow them to do whatever they want and have peace of mind.
May have as well not translated the boy's part. Hahaha.

Yeah I wasn't sure whether or not to include the boy's line. Maybe I should translate it into Polish.
